    Not sure if they are doing it on existing model, releasing a new model GT70, or what. Also announced new GE60/GE70's with GTX660M GPU's.



    MSI Press Release on 05/31 from an Engadget article today:

    680M and 7970M make this obsolete now really.

    Yea also it seems a bit silly since you can get the ms-16f2 with the 580m which is the same card

    In my region both the GT70 and GT60 are available right now with the GTX675M but not in Super Raid models yet.

    I just picked up a MSI GT70 0ND-219US with 2 750GB 7200 RPM HDD's in RAID 0 and a GT675m card. I love it. And it uses the MXM 3.0 slot to allow for upgrades. So Im not limited to the installed GPU, CPU and memory.

    Just bought it myself. I just formatted and am clean installing :) Also ordering a 16GB pack of Corsair Vengeance and upgrading the WiFi card.

    Why do I hear so many people talking about upgrading the wifi card?

    They believe upgrade wi-fi will make access internet speed faster. But they forget there is another equipment will make the difference---DSL router. Router is the door and Wi-Fi bandwidth is the road. If you do not have a good router, then the upgrade of wi-fi is useless.
